App Store ‘Gatekeepers’ Urged To Deplatform "Dangerous" Twitter Itself

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

App store gatekeepers Apple, Google Play and Amazon could all decide to deplatform Twitter itself following new owner Elon Musks commitment to free speech, according to a report.

Speculation over app stores potentially targeting Twitter intensified after Apple executive Phil Schiller deactivated his Twitter account for no apparent reason days after Donald Trump was restored to the platform.

Twitter users also noticed that the official Apple account itself had apparently removed all of its tweets, although it was later revealed that this was nothing new.

According to areportby Fast Company, Musk is playing a dangerous game that could spell game over for the platform he just bought by his supposed failure to moderate impose stringent moderation.

Musks platforming of hateful content could get Twitter itself deplatformed, writes Clint Rainey, adding that the company could be on a collision course with app store gatekeepers.

Rainey and his ilk are mad that Musk has culled the number of moderators employed to track harmful content and enforce Twitters rules against it.

Showcasing again how journalists now weaponize their platforms to try to chill free speech, Fast Company contacted Apple, Google and Amazon to ask them if they planned to deplatform the Twitter app itself, but none responded.

The article notes how both Parler and Truth Social were at one stage banned from app stores before they were forced to agree to more draconian moderation policies.

While its incredibly unlikely that the Twitter app itself would ever be deplatformed, the gatekeepers could follow the example of advertisers by putting pressure on Musk to impose tighter censorship, therefore derailing the billionaires stated goal to free the bird and restore true freedom of speech.

Given that Apple is also likely to take a large cut of Twitters new $8 subscription service, a financial motive is also in place to maintain a good relationship with Musk.

Much of the hysteria seems to be based around Musk allowing accounts that had been unfairly banned or suspended on the platform, such as those operated by the Babylon Bee and Jordan Peterson, to return.

Trump himself returning to the platform, despite insisting he has no plans to actually use his account again, has also instilled terror into censorious leftists who fear they are losing power over the ability to shut down adversarial voices.
